A look at multiplayer in LocoRoco Midnight Carnival

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 26th 2009 at 6:30PM }

The upcoming LocoRoco Midnight Carnival features a competitive score-based multiplayer mode. While this sounds like a good idea, this new video from the PlayStation.blog reveals that it's not very competitive. When connected with a friend over wi-fi, you'll be able to see their position on the map, and you'll see who's in the lead. However, you won't be able to interact with them in any way -- at least, not according to this footage.

Midnight Carnival doesn't appear to be a significant departure from the previous LocoRoco games. This video does emphasize the importance of the "Boing" mechanic, which requires players to perform consecutive jumps without taking a break. Midnight Carnival will be available as a PSN download later this week.

Until they blocked CFW users from the PSN store...
Thanks Sony. We're not all pirates!

I'd like to play a new LocoRoco Cocoreccho!

I look forward to the release of this new Locoroco game. Hopefully, stages will be longer that what we see in this trailer: only 6 fruits, less than 2 minutes to complete???
